Misc. Notes
I visited the Rochester Historical Center (July 27, 1999) on East Avenue in Rochester.....the woman there said she knew an Atkinson Allen who was the Vice-President of Allen Woolen Mill..."Flannel Manafacturers" she said they must have been rich .."because nobody lived on Argile Street without a staff of servants..nobody"...... She said Atkinson was a "hummer".....meaning very socially acceptable..handsome..etc...he had the most expensive garden in Rochester @ that time....he married a Catherine ?...and was later divorced........the Allen's also ran a Woolen Mill in Mumford & the buildings stand today in Mumford near the Country Museum site......but they knew nothing of the Factory in Rochester, its size or employment or product.....so from this story I should search the papers for the death dates of Atkinson ....and the social notes in Newspaper. Marriage Dates ?
